2008 BMW 335i-Sparkling Graphite Metallic

Today's detail is of a brand new 2008 BMW 335i in Sparkling Graphite Metallic. The client took delivery of this vehicle this week (Tues) and opted to not have the dealer prep but have me do it instead. A very wise choice on his part. The paint was immaculate with practically no marring whatsoever. It made this car a joy to work on but with temps in the 90's today in the Northeast it was still tough nonetheless. I am not sure if I could have pulled off a full correction today.

Process: (6 Hours)

Presoak with CWG and NXT mix in Foam Gun
Wash with Ultima Wash Soap and 2 BM
Clay with Meguiars Clay
Polish with Zaino AIO via Flex and Megs White 8006 pad
Polish via PC and LC CCS 4 inch whilte pad in tight areas
Zaino Z2 ZFX'd x2
Zaino CS on wheels
Interior cleaned with Woolite 6:1
Vinyl dressed with Sonus Total Eclipse
Leather dressed with Four Star Leather Conditioner
Wheels cleaned with P21S
Wheel wells cleaned with Citrus degreaser
Wheels dressed with Megs Hot Shine Tire Spray
Glass cleaned with Zep Glass Cleaner
Engine dressed with CD2 and Sonus Total Eclipse

"It made this car a joy to work on but with temps in the 90's today in the Northeast it was still tough nonetheless"- Come on Pat! It was a 115 yesterday in AZ but, again, you probably think the same thing of me when I write in the coming months "IT was tough, it was 60 degrees in Tucson, AZ today!"
